Would it be possible to get these for everyone with OBD2 devices?

Shroon, I got the Gedan Automotive (http://www.gendan.co.uk/product_STN327.html) Kit for my Christmas :rocker: , the wife has given me it this morning yeehaa, no more trips to Arnold Clark to rip me off!!

The Gendan kit also incorporates an MIL function that you can turn off the MIL light if you have problems ie De-cat etc

Trust the missus to give me this after I got the fault code cleared on our R75

Looks a nice piece of kit Kev.The other 1/2's do have their uses :)

Please remember, these devices only work fully on the petrol engined models.

They will NOT allow fault codes to be read or cleared, or the MIL to be reset on the diesels (pre 2006).

For these you need a Sykes Pickavant ACR2 or 4 and a their Rover V4 pod or a Testbook.

P1472 would appear to be variable intake butterfly power valve always open.Info from Land rover v6 in a Freelander - cant imagine its any different in a 75.

I have a slight murmur / misfire

The DTC codes are P0301 - cylinder 1 misfire and P1319 ???

Any ideas ?

Is it just me, or is there something amiss with that wonderful list provided by Dr Dave? I'm almost afraid to ask, seeing as it has gone unchallenged for nearly a year... but... I'm sure I see some inaccuracies there.

For example... the code which the OP mentioned - P1472. This one comes up a lot. On the KV6 for the Rover 75 (and presumably MGZT too) it's the ol' favourite 'VIS power valve always open'.

Has this list been taken verbatim from the KV6-sharing LAND Rover Freelander, perhaps, and not cross-checked?

I would dearly love to get my hands on a truly accurate list of DTCs for the R75 (purely for my personal geekery uses, to check with my low-budget OBD ELM327 interface - not for any professional or commercial use, I promise). Alas, such a list seems about as rare as rocking-horse manure! Google just leads me down blind alleys and loops. It's not like I'm after the security codes to get into Fort Knox, or the Jewel Room at the Tower of London... in fact, I'd wager that'd be easier to crack! I just wanna know if my car's behaving itself, and have a 'second opinion' on those occasions when my dealer tells me something (whilst keeping his fingers crossed behind his back, thinking I can't see! ;)).

Can anyone help? Much gratitude in advance, if you can! :D

It's a generic list I think not MGR specific unfortunately

P1472 is the code for variable intake butterfly power valve always open.

Most of the codes that Dr Dave has given are Generic, more so the P1 codes. You have to be very careful when looking for codes on sites as certain manufacturers have their own P1 codes Rover & MG are one of them. Also any one buying a scanner or code reader that is not a Rover specific one like the test book, the code book or CD you get with codes on it which come with them throw them away as the codes are the same as Dr Dave has given and most are not correct for our Rover & MG cars. Some are but get what i will call the bible ( Cannot name it on here) in the section Rover Test Book all the proper Codes are in there, for both Siemens & Mems systems that are on our different Rover cars. I realise that 99% of us cannot afford to buy the test book, i being one but if you get a U581 scanner and use it with the bible you can at least get Engine and Transmission Error codes and with the proper meaning of what code comes up you can sort it out and erase it . Saving a lot of money. Take my own KV6 Rover 75 in last week i have had error codes P1470 & P1472 which are variable butterfly valves Balance & Power valves always open at least 10 times, i have repaired them twice so i will have to replace them now, but if i had to take it to the garage to erase the error codes every time it happened it runs crap until codes are erased i would have paid out a fortune just to get error codes erased. Cheers Tony basham
PS I have all the proper codes but i don't know how to post them, plus there are about 5 pages, I will send to any one if they email me

I was wondering if you could tell me what side of the engine is bank #1.

After checking the codes on my 2003 Freelander I would have to assume that my butterfly motor is bad too due to the codes.

changing the motor is not an issue but knowing which one needs to be replaced is.

Any help would be appreciated.

Bank 1 is the front bank, number 1 cylinder is on it. If you turn the engine around so it is not transverse its on the left or passenger side. To be 100% sure after my hassle putting a Ho2 sensor onto the wrong bank due to a diagram in a top repair manual showing the banks the wrong way round. I always take the sensors off and it shows on your scanner what has happened. IE if it says HO2 sensor bank 2 low voltage, which is the one nearest the bulk head, to be sure unplug the bank 1 sensor and a new DTC should l come up, you then know it is the HO2 sensor on the bank nearest the bulk head which is faulty.

There are websites where you pay $25 and there they are plus a lot of the recall data etc on your particular model. This is working for me and my Freelander. P1471 seems to be a regular occurrence on my Freelander even though the manifold was recently changed by the previous owner. I have the Scangauge that works well but I cannot access all of the sensors, does anybody really know the comms protocols for the KV6 engine? US model in my case.

I'd forgotten about this thread!

Following on from my earlier comment regarding the accuracy of some of the manufacturer-specific codes (the ones above P1000) listed by Dr Dave earlier, I was able to source some accurate lists of genuine Rover/MG codes. There are indeed some inaccuracies with Dr Dave's above (I think his came from a Land-Rover system which is slightly different).

Anyway - the full set of codes for the Siemens 2000 ECU (as used by the KV6 engine) can be found here:

Would like to request a copy of the codes that you so kindly offered.
I would be eternally greatful if this is possible.

My email.... arlo4@btinternet.com

Nice one.

Arlio,

I *think* the ZR uses the MEMS ECU - it has the 1.8 litre engine, yes? - in which case the second link in my post above (#24) should do the job. It's taken from an official source, so should be pukka.
